To know Amps you need to know the voltage and power factor. For a pure resistive load and a normal house voltage of 120 VAC then you just divide wattage by voltage to get Amps. Power factor is a maximum of one for resistive load and decreases with various inductive loads that cause current and voltage to be out of phase.
Example 1: 1600 watts / 120 volts = 13.3 amps
Example 2: 15 amp outlet x 120 volts = 1800 watts
Best guess in your case is 13.3 Amps at 120 Volts assuming a load like an electric heater or incandescent bulbs.

How many amps are in 1600 watts?
To calculate the amperage, you need to know the voltage of the circuit as well. You can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. If the voltage is 120V, then 1600 watts / 120 volts = 13.33 amps.
How many amps does 1600 watts draw at 120 volts?
Divide the 1600 w by the 120 v and the answer is 13.33 amps. If you don't know the power factor for the equipment, increase the result by 20% to 16 amps.
How do you compute the 2000 watts in 220 volt to how many amps?
watts = volts * amps--> Amps = watts/ volts therefore; 2000/220= 9.09 amps
How many amps are produced by 10000 watts at 240 volts?
41.666 amps. Divide watts by volts.
How many amps equal 3000 watts at 460 voltage?
To find the amperage, you can use the formula: Watts = Volts x Amps. Rearranging it, we get Amps = Watts / Volts. Plugging in the values for 3000 Watts and 460 Volts, we get: Amps = 3000 / 460 = 6.52 amps.
